It depends. There are riots in England currently because some racists don’t want anymore immigration. I’m pretty sure you can easily have a very heated debate with these guys. You may talk with a jew about Israel these days too.
If you avoid hit topic with the wrong person, you won’t find strong opinions. But Internet bring people together, especially when they want to fight eachother.
It makes you a troll. Nato is not launching those missiles. And even those launched by Ukraine don’t fall in Russia. Meanwhile Russian missiles, launched by Russia, are falling in Romania and Poland.
And I’m not advocating for war either. But you don’t avoid war by looking like an idiot in front of an idiot who only respect strength.
Nato is not the one to decide war. Russia is. And as long as nato is cowardly shying away from doing anything, Russia will take whatever it wants and murder people in impunity. But if course you don’t care as long as you’re not the victim.
I wonder what russian trolls like you would say if a nato missile would fall in crime, which is not even Russia.
I was glad to see how scared Russia was when a US plane flew over sueden not long ago. :-)
While this is not worthy of ww3, defending nato member space is something nato can and should do. Whether the strike is intended or not, nato is legitimate to defend the area to prevent a strike. More than legitimate in fact.
The title mention god with a capital G, which means it’s the religions of the Bible, which means European history of things. Context in small details.
What weakened religion is a long process going from the middle age to the modern world. It starts with the pope wars. It peaks with the religion wars in the XVIIth century. By this point the religious power was a political power like any other, but merely with a cultural hold on European populations. Which was the nail in the coffin.
During this period, the Church radicalised itself as a defense mode. Which solidified the laïcal mindset of the Lumières. Basically the church entered a cultural war against science because it feared it would lose controle.
Then the XIXth century happened. Monarchies got destroyed. And the Catholic Church got humiliated and destroyed as a political power. Socialism and communism appeared, and to state how progressive they were, they put the church in the same reactionary bag as the royalists.
In the middle of this are the liberals who don’t care much about anything but profits. Si when democracy is on the rise, they are democrats. When royalty comes back, they praise the king. At least as long as they let them make good profits. And that’s what the church doesn’t let them do. Morale goes in the way of profit. It forbid slavery and exploitation. It’s against science. It promotes charity. That sucks balls for the liberals. But order is good, so why not being a believer but without the problems?
It’s not science that made religion recess. It’s bad political decisions and alliances. Many renowned scientists were believers. Many still are. But somehow the religions are rejecting science because it doesn’t go into litteraly what their old fantasy book wrote. It’s a shame because religions could easily make a humanist evolution if they had the political will to do it.
Competition like gog, I’m all for it. But what is epic providing? I fail to see it.
You probably don’t have enough knowledge to understand the difference I guess…
Quit eating and tell us about it I guess…
Everything can be. But for the largest majority of people, eating is normal, eventhough it can seem to have some aspects of an addiction.
And the most important part here is that even if you somehow get addicted to food, you cannot simply stop eating. Because you need to eat for your survival. It’s a biological need.
That’s the point of the example : showing that something you can’t stop doing is not necessarily a bad thing. The details are very important when it comes to addiction.
And video games are unfortunately victim of propaganda when it comes to their dangers.
An addiction is defined by two things : first, it has negative effects on your life. Second, trying to stop it makes you miserable.
Food for example is not an addiction, it’s a biological need. The need for socialisation is another one.
Video games can be an addiction. But I’d argue that they’re usually not, they usually a coping mechanism. When they are, the problem is elsewhere, and the video games are helping you to survive through the problem.
The exclusive on epic game store is a cancer that should not exist. And epic should remove their parody of launcher from existence because they somehow managed to make this a cancer too.
Hosting is so easy that most companies who do it fail at some point…
My point is the exact opposite. The smiley face is to point the hypocrisy of making the loss of 3 abrams something meaningful when Russia lost far, far more.
What proportions of its planes did Russia lost? Of its warships? Of its tanks? :-)
That’s the problem with obnoxious updates, actually.
Why are you using arch Linux if not to debug your system though?
I think you’re thinking backward. Internet is what it is because a single protocole unified it. Without it, you’d have island working with only one browser each, some would eventually die and with them large parts of Internet would disappear.
Internet works on unified protocoles. Everything that challenged this model is bound to fail. That’s why javascript is so successful eventhough it’s so shitty as a language.
Evolution can only be iterative.
Fascism has everything to do with poverty and inequalities. And inequalities in Europe are rising a lot. Where do you get your informations?
Capitalism is a sickness. It breeds crisis that lead to war, and it lives out of war and exploitation. But that’s beside the point.
One exception to it : fascists managed to convince people who can only lose stuff to a war that it’s good for them too.
